Tainted Seafood

The article "Tainted Seafood" talks about the fish that are being imported into the U.S. from countries such as China. The fish are being grown in dirty sewage water and are having chemicals pumped into them before they are sold. I absolutely think the FDA could be doing more in order to help make our seafood safe. The FDA should require that BOTH resturaunts and grocery stores list what country the seafood was purchased from and that testing has been done on a percentage of the batch that resturaunt/store has recieved. They should not be allowed to sell any seafood that is at risk of having those chemicals or actually does. The FDA could do a few things to improve measures with out increasing costs such as produce fish to be eaten here in the U.S. and stop buying them from overseas. They could also research more where the fish are being bought from. If sea food keeps being grown the way it is now, soon we will not be able to eat it without getting sick.
